Re: Regearing the '65

If i had to lower my gears again, i change tranmission to 4 speed automatic and keep 4.10 gears in dana. go with aod hooked to your 352. My 66 has 300,cruiseamatic and changed gear from 3.70 to 3.00. Lowered RPMS 400. Helped but lost some pulling power. TONY good luck. :2cents:
